Book Talk

What an engaging absorbing session!The children and their mommies were a rapt audience as Mamta Nainy ,the author of 'A saree for Ammi' wove an enchanting tale ,replete with intricating twists and turns of the real life story of Rubaina from Rajasthan !The narrative flowed smoothly as Mamta regaled us with fascinating snippets of a bygone era painting pictures of Mughal courts and Persian nobles who brought chikankari to India...
The cherry on the cake! Author-signed books along with handcrafted cookies!
The kids walked away with memories and moments tucked away to be revisited later.

The Reading Ramblers…
You guys...this has to be said. A huge thank you for sharing so many wonderful books. Because of you all, our lives are fuller, deeper and richer.
Talking about books… it’s exciting to bond over a newly released book, but nothing compares to unpacking a book that has been loved by so many for quite a while.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” …. History is rarely told by the losers, this is a compelling tale which shares remnants of a grand life once lived.

Come saunter in on the 4th of August, Sunday at 11:30 am at our usual watering hole.
